GibbsCAM Data Exchange
GibbsCAM supports a wide variety of data exchange formats enabling data to be read from just about any source. Basic GibbsCAM packages provide support for DXG, DWG and IGES formats. GibbsCAM solids-based packages support the Parasolid format and can directly read native model files from Solid Edge and SolidWorks. Numerous other data formats are supported through other optional data exchange options. With GibbsCAM you will never have to turn-away a job because you can't read in the CAD data.
DXF/DWG
Primarily used as an exchange format by drafting systems, such as AutoCAD, DXF/DWG is often used with 2-/2.5-axis production parts. Depending on the supported level of geometry, GibbsCAM can directly read in wireframe, surface and solid geometry contained in DXF/DWG files. Geometry can also be exported from GibbsCAM in DXF and DWG formats.
IGES and VDA-FS
A popular, well-known exchange format, IGES is often used by CAD systems to transfer surface geometry. GibbsCAM can directly read or write IGES format files containing wireframe and surface geometry. With a solids-based module, GibbsCAM can also read IGES solids. GibbsCAM can optionally read the German Automotive Association's VDA-FS data format for trimmed surfaces.
STEP AP203/AP214
As a next generation product data exchange format, STEP files are usually used to transfer solid model data. When support for the native solid model format is not available, STEP provides an excellent way to transfer solid model data to and from GibbsCAM. With the Solid Exchange Built on Granite option, solids-based GibbsCAM modules can read and write files in STEP AP203 and AP214 format.

FP CAM / CAMPLUS
FP CAM is the office program for designing the machining operations to be performed by the machining centres. It is a general version while CAMPLUS is customized for Emmegi machining centres. FP CAM simplifies application of the machining operations, offering a 3D display the profile and the tool; it also presents the most frequently used parametric figures (holes, slots, rectangles, etc.). With the added SHAPE program, you are free to design figures of any shape. Using the DRIVER-CAD option, FP CAM lets you import pieces designed with commercial CAD 3D programs (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, etc.). The machining operations designed are compatible with the FP PRO EASYMAC system and are thus assigned the necessary fittings so that, when calculating the job, it can produce a machine-ready work list.

Rotary Milling increases the productivity of GibbsCAM Production Milling with support for continuous rotary machining. Readily program rotary contouring, pocketing, threading, and engraving as wrapped tool path with continuous rotary motion. Capabilities also include face and OD milling for mill/turn and multi-task machines.
An ideal choice for threading, engraving and the machining of parts defined with flat geometry, such as roller dies or tool centerline grooves, Rotary Milling works best for parts which can be made with the tool on centerline. CNC Polar and Cylindrical Interpolation output is supported to produce optimal multi-revolution output on a single G-code line.
Wrap any shape or text around a cylindrical part via rotary axis interpolation. Start with flat geometry or text and then wrap it around a defined diameter or switch to radial mode to create geometry directly in its wrapped position. Rotary Milling works great for repeated patterns. Simply define the initial pattern and then enter the number of times to reproduce it around the diameter.

GibbsCAM TMS (Tombstone Management System)
Tombstones are a very productive means for machining multiple parts, greatly extending the time a machining center can run without operator intervention. GibbsCAM TMS (Tombstone Management System) streamlines multi-part setups to move more material through a machine tool while dramatically reducing the overall time required to create error-free machining processes.
Is it more efficient to keep the tool in the spindle and index around the tombstone or would it be better to finish all operations on one face of the tombstone before indexing to the next? GibbsCAM TMS makes it easy to try a variety of strategies to find the optimal strategy for any group of parts.
Perfect for lean manufacturing environments, or for job shops that want to implement lean principles, tombstone machining automates the output of a continuous flow of parts. The simplest strategy is to arrange the same part across multiple locations and sides of a tombstone and machine them one after the other by simply repeating the CNC program. With each rotation of the tombstone, a fresh group of parts is presented for machining.
With only a few mouse clicks, parts and their associated fixtures are located on the tombstone. GibbsCAM TMS offers numerous options for automatically arranging parts on a tombstone face with the choice of duplicating the same configuration on all faces of the tombstone or creating custom configurations for each face.
